📄 Description

What is this Python project?

Automatron is an open source framework designed to detect and remediate IT systems issues. Meaning, it can be used to monitor systems and when it detects issues; correct them.

Features:

Automatically detect and add new systems to monitor
Monitoring is executed over SSH and completely agent-less
Policy based Runbooks allow for monitoring policies rather than server specific configurations
Supports Nagios compliant health check scripts
Allows arbitrary shell commands for both checks and actions
Runbook flexibility with Jinja2 templating support
Pluggable Architecture that simplifies customization

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

There are a few other projects that are focused on Automated Remediation but as far as I know none of those support using existing Nagios checks. Another important thing with Automatron is the ability to use Jinja and Runbooks to configure monitoring in a similar way you would use Salt or Ansible. A policy based approach that is very customizable.

The biggest difference in Automatron is that it's not designed to show you errors from a GUI, it's designed to give you the tools to correct the error. Hands free without notifying someone first.
